Streets and Streets IV

5.Mom

Sloane's POV

The police station was cold but not like the ones at home. Being here on the right side of the law made me a little uncomfortable. I sat and watched the officer scurry around and remembered the first time I got in some real trouble. I was terrified no lie and honestly the fear of being off the streets and in a cell never goes away.

I watched Emerald twist her ring around and around her finger nervously while we waited over an hour to be called. When we were an officer walked us from the waiting area and he passed the offices I realized how serious they were taking this. I was glad to see that they were taking the necessary precautions because in the city, this case would have been a another number on a folder.
"Just up ahead to the right." The officer said from behind. He hand placed his hand just above Emerald's ass while he held the door for her.
"Are you stupid? She can walk" I said moving his hand back. Emerald used one hand to stop me and the other to hold the baby.
"Baby!" She brought be back to reality. She shook her head pushing me in to the room and on to the wall across from the two way glass.
"That's a cop and this is a police station." She looked me in the eye while she kept Khalil quiet by rocking him. I threw my hands up and surrendered to her.
"Ok. You are right." She turned around allow me to grab her waist and keep her and my son close to me.

When the supposed suspects lined up to took a while to examine the faces and just as I hoped  Kai wasn't one of them.

"None of them are her." Emerald said to the officer. Now I have a chance to handle it my way. All it would take is one fake phone call to have her where I need her.

"Try looking from the side." The officers suggested. She spoke over the intercom to the women on the other side of the glass.
"Turn to the left." She pushed the button.

"Nope." I said as they turned. We had a short conversation about Kai and her attributes with a female investigator.
"I definitely think that I know what she looks like and it's none of the bitches on the other side of the glass." Emerald pointed her finger in the lady's face.
"Why don't you take the baby to the truck." I gave Emerald the keys after kissing her forehead. She was just as tired as I was after all it was around 6 in the morning and neither of us got any sleep. She snatched the keys with a whole lot of attitude. I wanted to smack her ass and watch her walk away but I was aware of my surroundings.
"You know I like that." Was my response instead.
"Is the description still the same?" The officer went in for the kill and my attention returned to the situation. I tried to keep it as vague as possible because it was my job to deal with it no matter how much Emerald and the Las Vegas Police Department wanted me to sit tight.

"We are doing all we can to find her do you know where she could be?" I shook my head and pretended to think.

"Maybe back on the east coast." There is no way in hell she stayed in Vegas. But then again leaving is expected.

"We are doing all we can to get her in to custody but please sir, stay out of it." I think the officer could tell by the look on my face that this was the start of something grimy.

"I get it." I nodded and walked away. I took a look at my phone thinking Sean's ass was blowing me up but it was my mother. It hadn't been 12 hrs and she was on my case. I let it ring in my pocket not even thinking twice. I could feel my body about to shut down due to exhaustion.

"At least someone is getting some sleep." I said getting in the car referring to the baby.

"Yep Ms. Lisa. I'll ask." Was here reply. I looked up noticing that she was on the phone. After a few minutes she hung up.
"Why is she calling you this early?" I closed the door and back out.

"Jase cheated on her. Some young girls back home and now you are a big brother, maybe twice over..." I took a deep breath.

"That's why she is here?" Emerald hit me when I started laughing. My 60 something year old father out here still shooting kids in bitch is definitely hilarious.

"That's funny?" Here we are driving home from a police line up talking about the multiple kids my old ass dad fathers.

"I don't even care anymore." I turned the corner ending up at yet another red light.

"I guess not. You wouldn't know how it feels to be cheated on anyway." I could feel her attitude.

"We both know what it's like to do the cheating though." I would like to say it was the exhaustion talking but it was the fact we were on the topic of my family once again.

"Really? Do we?" She spoke up while I drove. I wanted to recant my statement but it was too far gone.

"Let's be honest you have cheated and so have I. We have been in pain and caused pain. Correct me if I'm wrong..." I shrugged my shoulders as I noticed the sun peaking over som clouds.
"Exactly E. You was out here breaking hearts to only difference is you were fucking bitches." The words came out before I could think.
"And I owned that." She wasn't lying.
"Hopefully It won't be the case with us." I hoped to finish the conversation right then and there.
"Yeah nigga hopefully..." I could tell dhr
"So much for continuing what we started." She folded her hands as we pulled up. I knew actually what she meant.

"You gone hold out on me? Simply because of some shit my parents are going through? If it's not one thing it's another Man that shit has nothing to do with us!" I got loud getting out of the car. I could barely keep my eyes open when I got the baby out of the truck. Her voice level matched mine and now we were yelling like children.

"Now pussy is involved and you want to talk? That's your mom!" She pleaded with me.

"And He is my father. What am I supposed to do anyway?"

"Sloane stop walking away from me." I stopped and took deep breath. I continued walking towards the elevator and hopefully to bed. There was a matter of time before the baby was up and ready with no regards for his childish parents.

I put the baby and stripped down to my boxers almost instantly.

"So we can't fuck because I don't care about my parents?" I walked in the room to see Emerald getting in the bed. The question was straight forward and I wanted an answer immediately.

"I'll let it go. I promise." Emerald's parents were off limits and have been for a while. When I invited them to her birthday party she didn't argue with me or them which was rare.

"That's it?" We have been going back and forth for months about this and she just drops it.

"Look... there is no reason for me to continue to make you be close to your parents" There are so many subjects that I'm tired of talking about and it needs to be known now. However her giving up was a surprise.
